Naruto Pov...
"You know I'm very satisfied with you. You've been doing what I wanted. So I won't treat you as bad today."My mother told me as I entered the dreams. She creeped the hell out of me. I'm not used to my mother being all-well-weird. She didn't set out to destroy me though. Which is good. Somewhat. I wondered where my father was. She suddenly appeared in front of me. I made a glass wall. She put her hands on the wall. I raised a brow but did put My hands against them on the wall. I suddenly got a vision. As a young child. When I say young I mean in her stomach not even born yet. She pressed her hands against Her stomach. And I answered. Same with my father. And also the boy in my First dreams. That looked like Sasuke. I grinned at the same time as Kushina. Suddenly My father came barreling down from the ceiling. Kushina was as shocked as me. The floor opened. I felt myself falling when suddenly someone caught me. He swished past me. Blood ran down my arm. I looked up. My mother. She pulled me in and the hole closed. She had punched through the glass and bloodied her arm. The sight of unfolding skin wasn't touching. I see it on my body all the time but on another person. My mother in particular.
"Don't do that shit."She said. I saw she was about to cry. Suddenly her knife was stabbed through my chest. I screamed.
"Shouldn't have been so weak." I felt myself go unconscious. I woke up to the Queen healing me. I sat and put a hand on my face.
"We had a connection, ya know."
"You're her son. It is said you're the spitting image of Minato but you act Exactly like the Uzumaki. Kushina Uzumaki. You even have that excited speech impediment of the sorts."
"Yeah. That fucking hurt." I was speaking physically and emotionally. However, I didn't cry. Instead I made a vow. One day I'll see that grin again. Without any stabbing. Any trickery. Any doubt. Any hatred. Just her. I'll just have to get stronger.
"Dont let it disturb you to the point of unratiality." I nodded. She dismissed formally. Like she normally does. With no emotion.
Hinata Pov...
I woke up with a smile on my face surprisingly. With the recent happenings I really shouldn't have a reason. I cooked Baked Ziti today. I couldn't help the idea. I got the idea because I made a pose and then I got a force of Kushina making the same. With that craving in her mind. She was in fact pregnant then. I went to school with Neji. He had already had his share for breakfast. He was quiet today. I asked if he was okay. He nodded. We got to school and He was still quiet. I checked his temperature.
"Are you sure you're not sick?"
"Yes. I'm fine. I just had to do a project last night. Took me past my bed time." I laughed. It's weird but even at 18 years old Neji has a bedtime. And If he passes it he's tired the next morning. It's like an automatic thing. You would think after a certain age the bedtime thing would stop but I can't even lie as Hyuuga there's a certain time when the lights go off and if someone catches you out suddenly there's so much to talk about. So to avoid it everyone tries to be back to the compound by like 10:30 and in the rooms by eleven. I fixed myself some coffee. With Lots of creamer.
"You might as well pour the creamer in first." Neji said.
"Th-that'd be like weird th-though. Th-this is some really good coffee."
"I know. You would think with how rich the Hyuuga are they would get something that tastes good in the least." I smiled.
"I'm going t-to miss you when you graduate."
"You are?"
"Of course." I said. My phone vibrated. I saw it was from Sasuke.
We just pulled in. Are we switching?
"Can I switch with Sasuke?"
"Sounds great."He stood. We walked down.
"I see you cut your nails"
"Yes. The Queens nails are much longer than mine. But you told me to cut them. So I did."
"Good." Sasuke was just coming in. Sakura gave me greeting kisses then said she had to run to the library. The aura around her screamed something happened.
"Whats up with her?" I asked when I got back to Sasuke. "Let me rephrase th-that." I said. "What did you do t-to her?"
"I may have told her her hair looks like a birds nest." I pulled out my phone.
"Why?"
"She Pissed Me off." He said. They can be just So Childish. I pressed her name and pushed him in a corner.
"Apologize."
I gave him the phone. "For what?"
"Do it or I'll tell everyone on this hall you kissed Naruto."
"No."
"Suit yourself." I said turning.
"Everyone!"I got everyone's attention. "Sasuke-" He put a hand over my mouth.
"Whats wrong Hinata?" I saw the people staring at us and only lifted a brow. They continued on their way.
"Hinata told me to apologize. So I'm sorry I said your hair looks like a birds nest. It Doesn't."Sasuke said.
"Oh. Well I apologize for the things I said as well. Bye."
"Bye." He hung up.
"Why did you do that?" He asked moving his hand.
"Because believe it or not you come t-to school everyday with birds nest hair. Same with Naruto, Kiba, Shino, etcetera. Not th-that it looks bad. It's just you can't go around saying that if your hair isn't t-t-tamed."I breathed. "My T's today have been horrible."
"I think my hair looks fine." He said. Now he's sensitive.
"I didn't say th-that it was bad looking."
"Whatever." He said. We walked down Kakashis hall. I saw Ren alone. Suddenly I was there. He jumped out of his seat. I put a hand on his neck. The nails slightly pressing against his neck. Queen.
"You're the only person besides myself, Naruto's parents, and his guardian girlfriend that knows about the dreams. You're also the only person that knows about me. Which means if it gets out it'll be costly."I dug a little harder. "I'll take you to the same place Naruto's parents go and torture you. Slowly. Heal You so you won't die. Then harm you even more." I pressed him against the wall. "And then you better not make me even more angry or I'll send you to Naruto's parents. Masters in the art of torture. Or just take your-" Sasuke pulled me away from Ren. "Oh My God. Are you Okay?" He was talking to Ren. Who sank hopelessly to the floor.
"And you better sit up and act like nothing happened too."
I grinned as he started rising again. Sasuke pulled me out. "Take your soiled hands off of me."
The Queen sinply blew them off. I followed him. I passed people in the halls. They never touched me though. We caught him outside. To Neji. I felt the wind pick up immediately upon being outside. Sasuke looked at me. Neji came over upon feeling the wind. I breathed it. Neji ran over.
"Hinata." He shook me slightly. I blinked. Feeling the harbored feelings leave. A split personality it seems. I've created.
"I think I know what you meant when you said the wind would just 'Take' her." Sasuke said. "What happened?"
"I was walking her to first period because we're across from each other. And then she just disappeared. And I found her in Kakashis room trying to kill Ren."
He blinked."The coffee shop boy?"
"Yeah."
"Well, she did the same yesterday. Are you okay Hinata?"He asked me.
I shook my head. "Yeah."
"Is it a yes or a no?"He asked.
"Yes. I just..." I breathed. " I just couldn't control my anger. Sometimes fear is a sustainable way to maintain secrets."
He gave me a degrading look. "I won't hesitate to take you home if you don't get your life together."
I backed away. "I'm fine."
Neji took my hand. I saw he was looking at my nails. They had grew back. I glanced at Sasuke. "Now is not the time."
Naruto Pov...
I went the long way to school. Aimi's mother was disappointed in me. All the training we had done and I lose control and almost crash a mountain down. I told her I know and that I messed up. But I also told her I've only been that angry few times in my life. One with Orochimaru. One after the incident. I don't think I had any fits as a small child. I was close though when some kid tried to rape Sakura. Or whatever the hell he was doing. We pulled into school and suddenly it was like 'Naruto?' and people swarmed. Asking questions. One thing is I didn't let go of Aimi. To avoid any issues or confrontations. Suddenly I heard yelling. "Break it up!" Neji appeared.
"Oh. It's you." I grinned. "Go to class." He pointed for the hall. That I dashed for as soon as she left with Aimi trailing. Aimi and I went our separate ways at the door of Kakashis room.
"Naruto. I called you. What happened?" I took out a plastic bag. Full of the broken pieces of my phone. "You see. Last night Emi put an alarm on my phone. So this morning. It was ringing. And ringing. And I didn't know how to make it shut up. So it ended up broken." Sasuke and Sakura only stared.
"Everything's on my sim card and microchip though so I'm going with Emi later on to Umm fix it."
"You can't fix that Naruto. You literally crushed the phone." Sasuke said.
"Well get another one then." Everyone sat down. I saw Ren. He looked a little-well, he looked like he was going to cry. I put a hand on his arm.
"I don't know what's up with you but you shouldn't let it get you down. Take it off your mind. It's for the better." He sat up. Immediately looking better.
"Hella thanks man."
The Bell rang. Kakashi was like fifteen minutes late. After the late bell. I only shook my head.
Hinata Pov...
"So Whats wrong with your nails?"Sasuke asked. I blinked at the random question.
"Umm th-they're nails. Th-there isn't anything wrong with th-them."
"Are they real?"Sasuke stared at them.
"Y-yes actually."
"Who did them?"He asked.
"I guess I-I Did."
"So your nails are really that length And so is the color?" I looked at Sasuke.
"Yes. They are. Grace you're persistent." I suddenly got a force. A small man with a stick. The third Hokage. He extended it. Pushing the Kyuubi back. He commanded his men to work.
"Hinata!" Sasuke exclaimed. I opened the door. "Give me your hand Sasuke."
He didn't hesitate Surprisingly. I remembered each picture. Each one. So big and great it's depressing. We broke apart at the lockers. He only shook his head.
"You're so weird."
"I was disappointed, you know."
"In us? You know how it is."
"I told you anywhere but at school though."
"You don't realize how hard that is to do. You also don't realize that outside we are less safe than in school because outside there are people Naruto knows that we don't know. Like Ray and Ko." I shook my head. "Plus it would be suspicious. To be like. I'm at the park with Sasuke."
"You never asked me where you could go where he won't find you. You never tried to." I said.
"Girls on their periods." I heard Sasuke mutter. I blinked.
"Excuse me Sasuke. What do you mean by that statement?"
"How you were all crazy last week-"
"Do not just assume I'm menstruating. My menstruation actually started today so I don't know what you're talking about."
"God. I did Not need to know that!" He exclaimed.
"You shouldn't have said anything about it." I said. We got to class. I took his hand and showed him the last one.
"I worked on that one the longest." I smiled and went to class. I knew he would go to class with that thinking face on. Sasukes always thinking. The calligraphy I know said True Love. I know that in itself roused questions. The Ziti was delicious. Cooking. It's a love.
"Shino. Do you mind coming with me for a bit?"
"No I do not."
"Neji. Am I fine with Shino?"
"Yes." I dragged him out.
"What is Wrong?"
"I need to get something. I don't need Sakura to see. Or Sasuke. You are quite t-t-trustworthy."
"Thank you."
"So Can you t-tell me about th-these bugs th-that were in Naruto's home? I-It was a few years ago."
"Ah. Yes." He went on about them. We entered the art class room.
"One second. Shino."
"Oh." May-sensei came to me.
"They are finally finished drying. And they all look Great." She went to the back and pulled out the massive paintings. The one of the comic MinaKushi. The battle one between Kushina and Myself. My original painting. All of them.
"I still can't believe you managed to draw them and paint them in one class period. I especially like this one. How you used the gloss with the blue and white to your advantage. Somewhat making it look three dimensional. I'm now sure that's the Fourth and his First Lady with how you did this one. I don't know where your inspiration comes from. Or pictures of the them that you got onto this but I love it." I smiled.
"Th-Th-thank you." I said. Still slaughtering my T's. Shino was shocked. We left the classroom after I thanked her for holding them. "You drew those."
"I did." She said.
"That's...Amazing."
"I know. And Sakura especially doesn't know my connection with the t-two so I would rather her not see it. Th-then Since th-they're close of Sasuke saw i-it he would t-tell so."
"But I thought you two were like-"
"We aren't really but even if he wouldn't stop his daily life for me. His t-talk with Sakura is a daily th-thing. Along with his t-talk with Naruto"
"This thing is like bigger than you." He took it off my hands. We went to the door.
"I'm taking this to Nejis car."
"His car?"
"Yes. Neji is very meticulous. I do many at home as well. He's already seen a lot of th-the stuff I do."
"So you're going to become a cook and an artist?"
"You know. I'm supposed to be an heiress but I-I would love to do That. T-To open a shop showcasing my artwork. Th-though I might give the pictures of the fourth to th-their..." I blinked. "Do th-they like have a memorial or something. I actually don't know."
"Not really. When I really think about it a Lot is unknown about the fourth Hokage and his wife. All we learn is about the destruction of Whirlpool and the Uzumaki. Then he comes back with her. That's pretty much it."
"Th-think some more about th-that. Who's got the last name Uzumaki? He's got an important part in th-that entire Plan."
"Uzumaki...Naruto?"
"Now if th-the Uzumaki were diminished in that raid and th-the fourth came back with Kushina who's child could he be?"
"You're well educated." He nodded.
"Yes. In truth we all used to play together as children. Naruto. You. Sakura. Neji. Me. Kiba. Sasuke. All of us. They were a big clique in high school. You can ask your mother."
"Wow."
"I know. It's amazing what happens when you finally th-think about things. So what happened after Naruto and you ex-excavated th-the bugs?" I changed the subject. When I came back Sasuke, who hadn't been in the room when I asked to leave was just looking. Neji was the first though.
"When did you get the keys to my car?"
I held them out. " You mean these?"
He took them.
"This morning. Before we switched."
"Damn. You're good."He muttered. Going back to his desk. I saw Sasukes look. Translation: We'll talk later.
Naruto Pov...
I jumped in Emis car as soon as she pulled in. The phone wasn't much. She paid for it though. Since she had it out. Tsunade called as soon as it was situated.
"Guess what?"
"Ummm. You didn't get drunk last night."
"No. You're going to learn how to drive a bus."
"What?!"I said. So she introduced me to a bus that Anbu let her borrow. And seriously began teaching me how to drive a bus. I was a little worried that she just needed confirmation. That I'm normal. Perhaps I should just pretend I don't know when I see the vision. Which was earlier than normal. That night while I was doing my make up. But I know I can't help my abnormalities. I'm adapting for survival.
Third Person...
"This morning was the first time I ever saw Hinata get really violent with someone." Sasuke told Sakura. During their usual talks.
"What?!"
"Yeah. She was pretty much choking Ren."
"Are you sure we're talking about the same person? You know. Hinata Hyuuga. Stutters a lot. Likes Naruto. Really shy. Kind of introverted."
"Yes. The same chick. He was utterly just scared too. He was pale and sweating but he didn't cry. I don't ever think I've seen such fear. He was so scared he couldn't even cry. Shaking. When I pulled her away she told him to get back up and act like it never happened too. And he did. I've never seen a female bully a male. Besides you. You don't count though."
"What did he do?"
"I don't know. Neji does though. And it has something to do with her nails. Her hair didn't grow longer though. Instead something happened to her nails. She didn't want to tell me about them but I have a feeling it's something serious."
